In the Sydney CBD and fancying a budget snack?
Bistro George, the bistro within the multi-level Jacksons on George, is welcoming spring with a new menu and the launch of a happy hour offering.
The new menu and happy hour mark the venue’s return to Gallagher Hotels, owned by one of Sydney’s most experienced publican families. The Gallaghers originally operated Jacksons on George from 2014–2018 and took over again earier thios year.
“Introducing a happy hour to the offering at Bistro George felt like a natural next step for the restaurant,” says head chef Steven Sinclair.
“Bistro George is an ideal spot to perch for afternoon cocktails and snacks. I can’t think of anything better than settling in with a negroni in one hand and a potato hash in the other.
“I love experimenting with new dishes and flavours, and spring is the perfect season to bring them to life. The freshness and vibrancy of seasonal ingredients have inspired our new menu, and I’m excited to see these dishes on tables at Bistro George.”
The happy hour menu, available Monday to Saturday from 4pm-6pm, offers guests a selection of small plates paired with cocktails and wines. Designed to partner an after-work drink or a pre-dinner tipple, the menu includes; Alto misto olives ($5); Sydney Rock oysters with Champagne mignonette ($6); grilled intercostal skewer with salsa verde ($13); whipped ricotta, Malfoy’s wild honey and crispbread ($12); and Westholme wagyu tartare crostini, cured yolk and brioche ($13).
Bistro George is also offering a range of cocktails at happy hour prices, including spritz for $10, negronis for $11, a rotating signature cocktail for $12, as well as wines from $9 and tap beer for $7.
“For us, the Bistro is all about excellent drinks, great food and creating an easy place to drop in after work or before dinner," says licensee Austin Gallagher.
"Alongside the new spring menu, we’re refreshing our beverage program by championing great Aussie spirits and local produce, with a hint of summer and European influence. You’ll see this come through in our happy hour program spritzes, negronis and signature cocktails.”
